The mother of a baby who was run over and killed said she is devastated after charges were dropped against the 91-year-old driver accused in the incident.

On Tuesday, a Valencia County judge dismissed the vehicular homicide charge after Seiber was found incompetent to stand trial.

The mother told Action News 7 reporter Ilana Gold that more than anything she wanted justice for her son. She said the man accused of the death her 2-month-old son got away unpunished. "It just makes us ask why? How? How did this get messed up so bad?" said Michelle Stafford about the case against Charles Seiber.

"Over two years of fighting for absolutely nothing," Stafford said. "That's exactly what it was."

Seiber was accused of running over Stafford while she was on her morning walk in 2009 in Los Lunas and killing her infant son, Sebastian. Investigators said Seiber was driving without a license after being denied a new one.

"He had to face some sort of justice ... and he faced none," Stafford said.

"I hope nobody else has to go through this battle," Stafford said. "Nobody has to face this, and end up walking away empty-handed."
